Book Synopsis Château Pichon - Longueville Comtesse de Lalande by : David Haziot
Download or read book Château Pichon - Longueville Comtesse de Lalande written by David Haziot and published by Editions de La Martiniere. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To make an unforgettable wine: This was the dream and, eventually, the lifework of Virginie de Pichon-Longueville, Comtesse de Lalande, who lived in the French region of Medoc in the 1700s. She presided over what would become one of Bordeaux s greatest vineyards and gave it the name it retains to this day. This fascinating book tells the story of the vineyard, a tale that is tied to the very origins of the Medoc winemaking tradition. It is intertwined, too, with the legacy of the great family of Pichon-Longueville, which is tinged with drama and romance. And it is the story of a grand cru that has had a strong female presence since its early days, being run by a number of remarkable women at a time when men dominated the business. Told through the eyes of the people who built Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande over three centuries, the story is accompanied by new photographs of the chateau and portraits of its inhabitants. Although the grapes, barrels, and classifications that gave the cru its unique character are not overlooked, the book focuses primarily on the strong and often surprising personalities of those who brought the vineyard to the great heights it enjoys today."

Download or read book Bordeaux written by Robert M. Parker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 1433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this fourth edition of the classic that launched his career, Parker strives to maintain his unprecedented independence, objectivity, clarity, and enthusiasm in reporting on the vintages of Bordeaux. Parker has not only added tastings for the vintages in the intervening years since the last edition, but he has also retasted and reevaluated a majority of the earlier vintages. His accessible and direct style welcomes both the seasoned wine collector and the eager beginner to the pleasures of fine wine and France's most illustrious chateau. Organized by appellation, Bordeaux moves alphabetically from one producer to the next, providing essential information and an overview of the property and its owners. Parker then lists each vintage, and includes numerical ratings and detailed tasting notes for most of that chateau's wines. At the end of each tasting note, Parker estimates the "anticipated maturity"—the range of time when the wine should peak in flavor and balance—and each entry concludes with a summary of the chateau's earlier vintages. Hailed by The New York Times as “the critic who matters most,” Robert Parker's Bordeaux is the most complete consumer's guide to the wines of Bordeaux ever written.
